And now again: a little layout-play: put the little star to cover the hole. Hm... edges to edges? Or edges to ray-middleline? its your decision!

What a lovely star. Thank you so much.

Ready? Okay! Now we close the open seams... with (surprise surprise) strips! http://www.smilies.4-user.de/include..._happy_330.gif and casually ww will cover the uncorrect points of the inner ray...

For the points i make orange diamonds on the same way like the inner little blue star. Sewing grid-diamond on the right side of fabric, cutting the edges, turning over through a cut in the grid. Okay? Okay!

For the seam-cover stripes you can take bias tape.

So! The top is ready! Now the star need a backside... When else do you have the opportunities to see the backside of a star... http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/bigs/c032.gif

We need a big piece of fabric (or four smaller pieces). Cut it so:

Your english is quite good and what a lovely tutorial you did for us. Thank you, Brenda

Between the small pieces you sew your label.

Then you sew the strip to the bigger pieces. Pay attention for a little window to turn over!
(do NOT pay attention for the strange light on the photo. it was a deep dark night! :o)

Now we make a sandwich (its time for meal??? :eek: )
We trim the top (Pic 1)and stitch the batting on it (Pic 2). My batting has a clue-side, i make it NOT to the top! Now we trimm the batting (Pic 3)and arrange the Top (with the right side) on the backside-fabric (also the right side) (Pic 4/5).

Now sew top and backside together, trim the backside, cut the edges and turn over through the window in the backside...

Great job on the tutorial. Your English is very good. Great star. Thanks for sharing :) :) :)

It looks like a birth... isn't it? http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/bigs/c018.gif

Now we make the last steps: Iron your top! (when you used a batting with clue, it will to be clued on the backside). Remove the threads from the stitching. Make a quilting, as you like it (i like a pure one).

And now in fact, your star is ready! Really? My star is far from beeing ready!
